i saw a separate thread that a Mummy with her Son seeing Dr Yap TL from kkh.
My Son is 3 and has this condition detected since birth and has been seeing Dr Yap since birth. Dr Yap mentioned just yesterday that he is now ready for the reconstruction surgery.
Actually I told Dr Yap I would like a second opinion and she recommended me Prof Anette Jacabson, which I will see her in Sep 2018. Just googled and actually, they are the best pd urologists in kkh.
Dr Yap mentioned my son’s Hypospadias is extremely rare: covered Hypospadias. She has only performed surgery for 2-3 cases in her entire career. The op will need 5-6 hours and 2 weeks stay in the hospital.
I read up about leaving it untreated and seems like it’s not the best option as it affects; self esteem, size issues, peeing issues and sexual activity, which I dunno if it’s worth the risks.
I’m more for the surgery, and if so, would like the surgery to proceed ASAP since he is ready. I do not want him to remember too much of the trauma.
Any other mummies seeing other Doctors or even go for second opinions?
Any mummies with their sons underwent the surgery before? Where was it done?
Can you share the stories?
Is it successful?
What to expect after the surgery?
